Re: Tall Pauls Favorite Workouts and/or Sets

Wednesday at MAC

SCY

15 minute choice warm-up

(A reminder, I always post our fastest groups intervals....there are always at least 2 and usually 3-4 more "groups" who are taking 5, 10, 15 seconds more rest OR going on a 5, 10, 15 second, etc. rest between repeats).

Main set had two options:
"short" option =
5 x (4 x 100's), no break between "blocks" swam as follows:
-Round #1 =100's @ 1:30, #2 @ 1:25, #3 @ 1:20, #4 on 1:15, #5 @ 1:10 and as always swimmers encouraged to do as much stroke or IM as they can and still make the intervals.

So in this set I started out at 200 pace and then got down into 100 pace range.

As I commented to Paul Smith on Facebook, "that awkward moment during the Thorpe Test Set where you realize you have more race-pace 50's left to do than easy 50's." Yeah, that happened somewhere around the end of the 12 x 50's

100 easy and out

It's confirmed...you're nuts!
